Louise Roe takes over the fashion world!

Style expert Louise Roe has been one busy girl! Not only has she taken on the role as fairy-godmother for Plain Janes, helping them realise their potential, but she's just designed and created her own range for Stylistpick too. Move over Olivia Palermo, there's a new style icon in the making!

Having moved to LA from London, she's made quite a name for herself across the pond. She knows her fashion, she takes style risks and was invited to nearly every front row during New York Fashion Week, so it seemed only right then, that Stylistpick enlisted her help to create an exclusive AW11 capsule accessories collection (pictured, left).

"Designing my own shoe and jewellery collection for Stylistpick has been the most awesome, surreal experience, I still pinch myself when I see the pieces in the flesh! I wanted to bring bright colour into winter's wardrobe and I'm obsessed with orange at the moment, so creating the Rio heel was probably my favourite part of all. Chunky, boho rings and a long necklace are trans-seasonal pieces that will amp up an outfit right through from Autumn to Spring. I hope the customers like it!" Louise said.

As well as Stylistpick, you can catch Louise on MTV's Plain Jane (pictured, below), and for those of you who haven't seen the American series, this is a make-over show that sees girls with no confidence or style, being given an entire head to toe transformation, a brand new stylish wardrobe, dating tips and we even have to watch (or endure) them taking part in confidence building techniques (awkward!). The twist of this new series is that every Plain Jane has a secret crush and at the end of each episode we watch as the girl surprises her unsuspecting crush with her foxy new look and that's when she reveals her true feelings. Eek! It's cringe-o-rama to watch but we can't deny, it makes for good telly.

"This show is real, raw, honest, and genuine. The journey these women go on is pretty incredible, and it involves them finding an inner confidence and self-belief. It¹s a lot more than just going shopping." Louise said.

It's all well and good Louise being the fairy godmother but has the fashion expert, and self confessed shopaholic ever had trouble with her confidence in the past? "Yes, absolutely! I had the braces on my teeth, the bad hair days, awful dates that ended in disaster! Being close to my family and realising there is life after school definitely helped. Plus, I discovered high heels at some point, and that made me extremely happy, too!"

With the Plain Janes conquering their fears, we wondered if Louise had ever needed to find the courage to do something truly scary? "Well, when I moved to LA three years ago I took a leap of faith. I had very little money or work, but I just went for it. Believing in yourself and just shutting your eyes and going for it is paramount."

Now she's become a style icon with her distinctive look (think polished Olivia Palermo mixed with the boho vibe of Nicole Richie), we were dying to know who her ultimate fashion inspiration is: "Lauren Hutton. I love the 1970's aesthetic!"

That's a good job, 70s is so in right now. What else does Louise think we should keep an eye out for this upcoming season? "Orange, shearling and cloche hats".
